Description:
As I already reported in #28109, open-vm-tools-modules needs a rebuild because the vmhgfs could not be loaded and the /etc/rc.d/open-vm-tools script fails to start. Additional info: * open-vm-tools-modules 2011.12.20-3 * linux 3.2.2-1 * kmod 4-2 Steps to reproduce: modprobe vmhgfs |
This task depends upon
open-vm-tools is in essence broken in the distro until it's rebuilt.
This sucks, as in it's a pita, as I'm using it ALOT. IE: More than 5 machines.
